Julia has been involved in a number of educational projects with the group Spectral Arts.
Spectral Arts was formed in 1998 with a vision to bring arts to as many people as possible.

Julia was recently involved in the ‘Grow Your Own Health’ project, sponsored by East Sussex County Council and Futurehealth Brighton.
The project involved handing out a ‘welcome’ packet of seeds to people as an invitation to grow something new this Spring. The aim was to encourage people to make a connection between their own individual wellbeing and nurture, and environmental health, and nature.
